Isaac French

🏡 Isaac and Helen plan to build a Nordic-inspired micro-resort in Texas, two hours from a metro area. They spend $10,000 on planning and use Meta ads to attract interest. Initially, they ask for a $1 deposit, increasing to $50 after 30 days, qualifying leads at break-even costs. Within 2-3 months, they secure hundreds of $50 deposits. The pre-booking window opens 12-15 months prior, leading to $1,000-$2,000 deposits, raising up to $1 million without losing equity.

🏖 Eddie's 2022 real estate investment involved a $2,000,000 property. After a $25,000 legal battle, he purchased it for $800,000 in December 2023 with a $75,000 seller credit. He financed $561,000 at 8.5% interest and $187,000 in construction loans. By July 2024, he renovated five cabins for $280,000. In 2025, with all ten cabins operational, he achieved 95% occupancy, $330,000 revenue, and $100,000 net cash flow. A 2025 refinance valued the property at $2,000,000, yielding $1.2M, and $253,000 back to Eddie.
